anyone else have this weird ticklish sensation?

anyone else have this weird ticklish sensation?

The back of my left thigh has developed a weird, ticklish feeling.  I don't know how else to describe it, I guess maybe hypersensitive is the right word?  It started a few days ago, and today that whole leg feels a little weak and like it takes a smidge more effort to lift it than normal, not terribly so; I don't want to overstate it.  I did mow the lawn today which is more effort than I normally expend, and it was warm out, but usually when I overheat too much the first thing I notice is double vision returning, and that didn't happen.

In the past couple of weeks I have been way more tired than usual, my left hand bothering me more than usual, numbness returning to my right hand which hasn't happened in a long time and I considered I might be having a mild flare.  This leg thing is concerning me because although mild is definitely noticeable to me, and definitely new.

Also odd, I think this proprioception thing must be worse, because I have been walking into door frames more than usual, and also nearly missing the toilet when I go to sit down!  That's new too, the toilet thing, not the walking into door frames.

I'm going to call the MS nurse tomorrow to let her know, and am considering IVSM.  If it's a flare I'd rather deal with it sooner than later, though a little reluctant to pull out the big guns since they do become less effective with more use.  It has been a while since I last had them - would've been Dec 2008 for O.N.  

Sorry for the rambling, I guess really I was just wondering about this ticklish feeling, if others have had it and was it MS related?

The back of my left thigh has a ticklish/itchy feeling sometimes. And a lot of times my legs just feel heavy and uncomfortable.  I also getting tightness, pain, & pulling behind both thighs, but most of the time it stays on the left one.

I think all of it is MS related.

I know what you are talking about.  It hasn't happened to me in a long, long time, but it felt like someone was taking a feather and tickling tha back of my leg.  It was very annoying as for the longest time I thought it was a loose thread on my capris causing it but nothing was there.  It went away after 3-4 days and I didn't think to mention it to the neuro. Weird, eh.

Still having this darn ticklish feeling on the back of my left thigh.  Happens often when I get up from sitting position, or turning on that leg when walking.  I get the ticklish feelking which makes me sort of exhale/gasp as it still takes me off guard, and then my left knee slightly buckles.  Not dramatically so; anyone watching me might not even notice.  I had forgotten the ticklish thing has been going on since last June (last relapse/last IVSM).  Looks like it might be here to stay.  Which would be ok, just hope it doesn't progress.  The knee starting to buckle worries me a little bit though,
